Nassau, Bahamas

Hello May, still in lock-down. Well they are gradually lifting restrictions here, trying to get back life to normal.. or to the new normal.

We still have curfews, though the hours are not as bad as they used to be and either way you dont really have where to go to at night... people are also slowly getting back to work and im not emotionally ready for that.  I wouldnt mind getting some change of scenery, but going back to being stuck in the office for 8 hours a day is not my ideal scenario cos I was really, really not made to work in an office with working hours. Though with some issues we've been having on the Project, it might just get cancelled as well and then there will be no office or anything, so when you think about it, working in an office is still better than not working at all, right?


So I guess it would be smart to make another post before maybe life goes back to crazy again, eh? 😎



First card comes from Glenn and one of his cool cruise trips (Well, Glenn always does some cool cruises actually). I hope he will be able to get back to that soon and of course, brighten up some mailboxes out there 😃
The card is a nice map of the Bahamas, and some brief information about Nassau, its capital. 
To spare you from zooming the picture in order to read the text in the top right corner, it says that Nassau lies on the island of New Providence, with its neighbouring island Paradise which can be accessible via Nassau's Habor bridges. 
Nassau has an attractive Habour, a colourful blend of old world and colonisation architecture.. The tropical beauty of the Bahamas have made Nassau a popular tourist destination


I just guess that 'habor' is a typo and should be 'harbour' 😏


two beautiful stamps accompanying this card, something typical Bahamish. They are from a set of four whales' stamps issued in 2017, commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Bahamas Marine Mammal Research Organisation.

Thank you Glenn! Well I have enough of your cards to cover till your next trip 😇

Nassau, Bahamas

My dear dear Katie gave me this splendid surprise and thought of me during her stay in the Bahamas! Can you imagine my delight? A written and stamped card from the Bahamas?!!! Not an everyday treat, thats for sure!

From the back of the card: "Whether you prefer quiet, private beaches or lively public ones, Nassau on New Providence Island offers the crystal clear water and powdery white sand that you are looking for".

Ahhh, private or public, id take either....how can I resist a sandy beach like this with crystal clear waters! Yeah, I am desperate for a holiday by the sea or ocean, but unfortunately, with the season coming to a closure, and me still having lot of unsolved issues here, I could still just dream of one....maybe ill be more lucky next year...


The stamp is from a set of 4 issued in 2010, called Friends of the environment.

Thank you so much dear Katie, again and again! You really made me happy!
